The Tutors' Association is the professional body for tutoring and wider supplementary education sector in the UK. Launched in 2013 it now has over 600 members. Of these 150 are Corporate Members representing some 20,000 tutors throughout the UK. Central to our Mission, Vision and Values

is to represent tutoring and the supplementary education sector and become the ‘go to’ resource for tutors, the public, the media, schools and government.

The TA has three main purposes:

To create a community for members of the tutoring profession, where they can:

Exchange knowledge and experience

Get access to information and services that assist with their day-to-day work

Provide mutual support and encouragement

To provide reassurance to parents that the tutor they have selected:

Has committed to professional standardsby signing up to a code of conduct

Presents no known risk to their child by having been successfully DBS checked

Has proven their competence by providing testamentary evidence of the successful completion of tutorial engagements

To provide a unified and coherent voice for the tutoring profession so that it can:

Engage constructively with all the other stakeholders in the provision of education

Help ensure that the profession is perceived accurately and positively

Recognition

In recent years, tutoring and supplementary education have become increasingly popular both in the UK and globally. In the UK alone, many hundreds of thousands of people are employed as tutors.

Schools, pupils and parents are increasingly working more closely with tutors to help raise pupils’ attainment and confidence. Yet the role of tutors and supplementary educators has gone largely unrecognised.

The Tutors' Association seeks to change that and raise the sector’s profile by promoting tutoring as a viable profession and encouraging professional development.

Tutors and tutoring companies who comply with our Codes of Practice are welcome to apply

to join us.

"Welcome to The Tutors' Association, the 'go to' resource for tutors and the public on all things to do with tuition in the UK. Tutoring and supplementary education is a broad church which has flourished both at home and abroad over the past decade. Our Association seeks to provide it with a responsible, reassuring and representative voice. In this endeavour we seek to work closely with tutors, families, schools, government, the media and the wider public.
Membership-led, we are open and inclusive, valuing the involvement of all our members: to share ideas and experiences, to promote best practice, to be standard-bearers for responsible tutoring. I look forward to your participation in this collegiate enterprise in helping to shape our profession."
